Comments: The majority of submitted solutions were mathematically complete
and correct. There were very few grammatical errors. The chosen solution
stood out for its excellent presentation of steps and clear explanations
of the operator.
 
INSTRUCTOR'S COMMENT:  The grader was much less impressed by these papers 
than the reviewers were.  Only Ashley addressed the main point of part 
(a), which is whether the domains and ranges of the linear functions match 
up so that the composite functions are defined.  All authors tried to give 
a verification in (a) that the operation C is linear, but all messed it up 
in one way or another.
